May/June News


Calais May 2013

It is hard to believe the school year is coming to an end in one month. I have really enjoyed all the students and families. We have had fun learning and it will be hard to say goodbye to the children moving on to other classes.
We will learn about different types of farms, farm animals and then farm tools and machines. We will do experiments with eggs and milk, and explore wool and feathers.  We will also act out the story of The Little Red Hen. Some of the other books we will use are And the Cow Said Moo; The Cow that went Oink; Cock-a-doodle Hoooooo!; Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type; Let’s Go Visiting.
The weather is finally starting to turn around. Please make sure your child is prepared to be outside. For protection from the sun, sunscreen should be put on before coming to school and your child might want a hat and/or sunglasses. Please no flip flops or crocs. They are not safe for climbing outdoor structures or for running. When the heat is turned off, our room is cool even when it is hot outside. Please send a sweater in your child’s backpack.   
There are some important dates:
May 8,9 – Show and Tell.
May 22 – Kindergarten Parent Information Night 6-7 PM
May 22 – All Library books need to be returned
May 27 – No School – Memorial Day
June 6 – Preschool Picnic/Potluck 5:30 in the gym. Details will be sent home soon.
